But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Jesus Christ
In Matthew 7:13. the Lord Jesus Christ predicted that most people would go hell, but He didn’t specify which sin would send the most people there. However, the massive amount of revenue generated by pornography makes a strong case for sexual immorality. Its economic influence surpasses that of ABC, NBC, and CBS combined. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says that Satan is the god of this world, and both the mere existence and the prevalence of pornography confirm that statement. Serial killer Ted Bundy cited pornography as contributory to his descent into rape and murder, and though the vast majority of porn watchers never physically harm anyone, porn is far from harmless.
God’s plan for sexual intimacy entails one man, one woman, exclusively within the confines of marriage and in the privacy of the bedroom. However, pornography depicts homosexuality, lesbianism, group sex and other forms of sexual expression expressly forbidden by God, all of which is put on display for millions to watch. Satan knows that sex outside of marriage, lust and masturbation will lead to hellfire unless the offender forsakes these sins, so he aggressively promotes them through the 5000+ adult video stores just in the US alone. He’s also made sure that the internet is saturated with hardcore pornography and sites that facilitate casual sexual encounters. There is one even that created specifically for married men and women who want to cheat on their spouses. Satan has waged war on the entire human race, and while pornography isn’t the only weapon in his arsenal, its one of his most effective. The amount of money it produces annually is well into the billions, so even if pornography was the only thing anyone would go to hell for (hypothetically speaking) the number of people there because of it would be absolutely staggering.
Everyone involved in the creation and distribution of pornography works for Satan. Adult movie actors, cameramen, directors, those who construct pornographic websites, and owners of striptease establishments have no idea that they are essentially being pimped by Satan. Not only is the devil intent of destroying them, but he's using them to help him destroy others.
Yes, pornography is one way ticket to hell and the lake of fire if you die in sin. As a former voracious consumer or pornography who could easily identify its redeeming qualities if it had any, I can confidently affirm that it doesn’t have a single one. It simply excites the flesh, and according to the Bible, those in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:1 explicitly identifies walking after the Spirit instead of the flesh as a condition of actually being in Christ, and therefore not subject to condemnation. Galatians 8:8 issues a solemn warning that he who sows to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, which is diametrically opposed to reaping life everlasting. 2 Peter 2:11 says that fleshly desires war against the soul.
Pornography should be treated like the magic books of Acts 19:19. Rather than simply discard these books after repenting, those in possession of those books burned them. That would sure clean up cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Washington DC. If you’re in bondage to pornography and want freedom, Jesus Christ can help you. He can save you. But you best burn your pornographic DVDs, magazines, videocassettes before they burn you.
